POINTS OF CLARIFICATION:
Ellen is all bloody because I found a rock bar at the Notch and was trundling golf-ball sized granite at her as she walked the left wall... Then I used the it to prod her up the Final 400...
In truth, I did indeed offer Ellen my helmet, and she decided against it. While not totally necessary in the chute in summer, it can be helpful if there are climbers on the East Buttress (there were, multiple groups in fact).
And, yeah, I take it because it makes me look cute...
and to show off the TEAM HYPOXIA sticker...
Climb hard,
Laura

: I've been up the MR a few times and
